Roof Gardens.

''No, / am not going to the country

day, in New York, in response TO the
stereotyped question which greets
everybody at this season of the year.

The fiat roof had been covered with a

quee, such as we see on country lawns,
protected us from the sun, and rugs,
cane easy-chairs, hammocks, two or
three small bamboo tables, and Il null

roof seem bit of fairyland.

GreeIey's Socialistic Experiment.

On fishing trip some years ago /
found myself on the road that leads
from Lackawaxen on the Erie rail-
road to Blooming Grove park-both
places in rugged and primitive Pike
county, Pennsylvania. About two
miles from LackawaXen [ came to q
spot of curious and suggestive interest
1t was the deserted and lonely site of
the community which Horace Greeley
undertook to establish some forty wears
ago or more to make an experiment in
socialism-nOt socialism as it is under
stood to-day, but as it was understood
by the philosophers and idealists of
Brook farm. Greeley thought that
something might really be done with
the community idea, and tract of few
hundred acres of table land that cost
very little money was selected to try
it. When [ came to the place | found
nothing but debris and decay-build-
ings in ruins, with roofs gone, and
only rickety gables or chimneys stand
ing; rOtting fence-pOsts here and there
to show where fences had been; va
grant cattle browsing in the ADAM
doned fields. tangles of shrubs and
small bushes over the land from which
the community had expected to gather
free crops, everything denoting neglect
and almost suggestive desolation. Mr..
Greeleys experiment was short-lived.
1t died of the usual disease disagree
ment. After awhile the people who
were to be brothers and sisters did not
get on well together. Some shirked
their share of work, and some wanted
more than their share of the products.
This is often the case among real
brothers and sisters, too. 1t runs
through the human family. Greeley
ran up from New York now and then
to see how things were going. He
soon found they were not going well.
Discomfort, complaint, chickering's, and
then the community collapsed, and
the experiment was at an end. That,
was reform movement, or so intend
ed, anyway. Its only effect was to
show the difficulty of making practice
support theory. Mr.. Greeley had no
further desire for experiments in SO
cialistic reform after the failure at
Lackawaxen.-Cor Correspondence Buffalo

The Sleep of Death.

Ar interesting description of the
"sleepy disease" peculiar to Africa,
IS given in the journal of an African
Cruiser" The persons attacked by
this singular malady are those who
take little exercise and live principally
on vegetables, particularly cassada
and rice. Some observers ascribe it
to the cassada, which is supposed to
be strongly narcotic. Not improbably
the climate has much influence, the
disease being most prevalent IN low
and marshy situations.
Irresistible drowsipess continually
weighs down the patient, who can be
kept awake only for the few minutes
needful to take little food. When
this lethargv has lasted three or four
months death comes-with a tread
that the patient cannot hear - and
makes the slumber but Il little more
sound.
I found the aspect of Queen Maui
mee's beautiful granddaughter incon-
ceiyably affecting. It was strange to
see her SO quiet, in a sleep from which
it might be supposed she would awake
full OF youthful life, and yet to know
that this was no refreshing slumber,
but a spell in which she was fading
away from the eyes that loved her.
This young girl was but IA years OF
age With some difficulty she was
aroused and awoke with a frightened
cry-a strange and broken murmur-
as if she were looking dimly out of
her sleep and knew not whether our
figures were real or only the phan-
tastes of dream.
Her eyes were wild and CLASSY, and
she seemed to be in pain. While
awake there was nervous twitching
about her mouth and in her fingers,
but being again extended on the mat
and left to herself these symptoms OF
disquietude passed away and she al
most, Immediately sunk again into the
deep and heavy sleep in which we
found her.
This poor doomed girl had been
suffering-no. not suffering, for, ex-
cept when forcibly aroused, there APP
pears to be no uneasiness, but she had
been lingering two months under this
sleepy disease.

Down in the Strawberry Bed.

Jays in the orchard are screaming and bark
Floods all the air with meodious notes;
Robins and sparrows are straining the1
throats,-
Dorothy, Dorothy, out of the hall
Echoes the sound of the musical cali:
SoncbirdS are silent moment, then sweet
Dorothy" all Of them seem to repeat
Where is the truant? no answer is heard
Save the clear trills of each jubiant bird;
Dawn-damaSk roses have naught to unfold
Fresh with the dew and the mornings bright
gold.
Dorothy, Dorothy" still no reply,
None from the arbor or hedgerow a-nigh:
None from the orchard, where grasses are
deep
dorothy, surely she must be asleep!
Rover has seen her; his eyes never fall
Watch how he sabres the air with his tail!
Follow him, follow him! where has he gone?
Out toward the garden and over the lawn
Dorothy, Dorothy" pafntive and low,
Up from the paths where the hOllyhockS grow
Comes the soft voice with a tremoI of dread,
"Dorofy's down in e stwawbewy bedp
Curls in a tangle and frock all awry,
Bonnet, beam from the gold in the sky,
Eyes with the sparkle of mirth trimming DER
Lap filed with ruby fruit red to the core.
Dorothy, Dorothy rogue that thou art,
Who at thee, sweet one, to scod has heart?
Apron and fingers and cheeks stained with
red,
Dorothy, down in the strawberry bed!

No Longer a Luxury.

Summer tours in Europe are get
ting to be quite common affair

queens jubilee, of course, drew an
unusual number of English over TO
the other side, but English, Irish. and
Scotch, resident in the United States,
visit their native country in increas-
ing numbers every year. The eXcur-
sionists are of all kinds, mill opera
tives, mechanics, and employees in
various trades and businesses. They
have got ahead here, and they want
to show their fine feathers over

"A singular practice has grown up
among the Scandinavian emigrants
in the northwest. The severity of the
climate in some parts of Dakota and
Minnesota makes winter employment
an impossibility, and the Scandina-
Wan settlers, or large numbers of
them, start for Europe in the late
fall, spend the winter in Scandinavia
and then return to America in the
spring or early summer. The round

''How about the Germans?'
1.-The Germans are rather careful
about visiting home until they have
acquired the protection which citi-
zens papers give in that country; but
they do 90 III large numbers when
they feel safe enough. One young
German, brought to this country
when a child, and duly naturalized,
related to me the other day an inter
esting incident illustrating the condi-
ton of affairs over there, When he
got to his native place, he started to
visit his uncle and his family. The
young German-American was attired
in a suit of clothes which gave him
something of an official aspect. He
was surprised, on the door being
opened to him, to be received with
evident grief and chances of conster-
nation, instead of hearty welcome.
1t seems the family mistook him for an
officer come to drag the eldest son
of the house off to military service.
1t is no wonder that, under such cir
cumstances, German immigration is
large, while the immigrants are eau
tious about making return visitS- .

A Promoter of Idleness.

The Swiss, as a body, move slowly.
Expedition has no charms for them.
They have no liking for haste and
hurry. This trait was amusingly illus
trated the other day. A banker al
Lausanne bought typewriter. Il
worked we'll, and he told his friends
that he was delighted with it. Only 4
few weeks later it was sent to the
market-place to be sold at auction.
When asked why he gave up the ma
chine, the banker naively said that
with the typewriter, the business let
tiers of the firm could be disposed OF
SO quickly that the clerks were left in
idleness for a great part OF the day
He therefore abandoned the machine
and returned to ordinary pen and ink.
In such country it is marvellous that
there should be railroads aud steamers.

neat stores with fresh-looking signs,

collapsed before a paper was issued

to have never since had money enough
to pay the freight out The town

Keep Your Eyes Shut.

We are told to keep our eyes ever
open. 1t is often we'll to keep them
shut. One of the chief causes of
nervous disease is the straining of the
eyes and the consequent tension Of the
mind. When stretched in a BARRIERS
chair do not try to read a newspaper,
but close your lids under the soothing
undulations of the lather brush or the
dreamy sensation of the shampoo
with the darky's big hands gliding
DER your pate. In q railway carriage,
instead of staring out of your sockets
at the landscape which is being torn
in shreds before you, fold your arms,
bow your head. and listen to the
whirr of the wheels that make an ac-
compartment to a WOrdless song
grooming in your heart. Again, in
the concert room, in place of survey
ing the audience critically, or watch
ing the beauty of the singer behind
the footlights, shut your eyes once
more, and let the music sink into your
soul, rocking it on waves of emotion
and waiting it insensibly into the ideal
world. In a still higher sense, to
keep our eyes and mouth shut is one OF
the wisest lessons of life.-M0ntredl

The Prospects OF the Panama Canal
Company.

1t seems, therefore, probable that
the French will make strenuous efforts
to finish the canal; reports, on the
other hand, have been current as to the
calculation of English, German, and
American capitalists, in view of pos
sible collapse. A year or two will
probably determine the success or fail
ure of the company. 1t has, however,
a resource wholly within itself-the
reduction of the cost by taking the
canal with locks instead of cutting
it to the sea-level. This is the
course recommended by the commits
sioner of the French Government,
Rousseau. Upon such conditions the
assistance of the Government might be
more readily obtained than if the COM
pany should persist in endeavoring to
carry out its original purpose. In case
the lock solution should be adopted,
it is to be kept in mind that such a
canal at Panama possesses one I'M
questionable advantage over one al
Nicaragua; the former can, while the
latter can not, be converted into sea
level canal.
1t may be observed, besides, that the
only plan for a canal at Panama ever
submitted by the engineers of the
United States, that of Lull and Memo.
cal, in 1875, is plan including locks.
De Lesseps is not a man to neglect his
own interests; he might be ready
enough, no doubt, to take hint, never
mind from what source. FaS est at
hoste dOcert. Should this design be
adopted, SO as to get the canal through
! and should the undertaking prove re-
munerative, capital might be sab
sequently raised TO deepen the work to
